Ew!that triggers this: has anyone else been totally put off Fresh Up© by their new "Thirst is Creepy" ad on the telly...
shudder...
I'm guessing it's the same creatives who do the impenetrable 33 and a third beer ads
I miss the connection they are trying to make
probably I'm too old!
oh to be a fly on the wall at the pitch session... -
is this a poetry club?
If it's possible to get blunt force trauma from rapier-like wit, then yes.

who's got rapier-like wit?

Yes.

Yes.Isn't it one of the same actors also?

Well join the queue,(and I believe ,age has nothing to do with it :)
Only point I can imagine is, kinda shocking so it makes the name (objective) memorable.Still I think of reaching for a stiff Vodka Martini, shaken ,not stirred, but I guess it is a "fresh" idea. -

I think Rich meant Tapir-like wit ;-)
as folk are always poking their noses in
and are not averse to probing prose -
Well that was interesting...
pollywog returns and starts acting like a dumbugger
Here's a clue Robbie, maybe you should read ThisInternet Argument Techniques
Some people are so dumb that they think they can walk around naked and argue people into believing they have clothes on. These people have made their way to the internet. -

does this mean we're Bonding?

stop it Ian, you're making me use a dictionary :)

Actually, wrong threaded, but there has never been a better opportunity that I can recall to post this;
A politician is an ass upon which
everyone has sat except a man.ee cummings.
Three asses even. The three Amigos?
stop it Ian, you're making me use a dictionary :)
A head by a nose.

that cracked article is scarily accurate. not bad for a second fiddle to mad magazine. what did this pollywog person do?

It's one of two ads I'll change channel to avoid. The other is the 'women get bored easily' ad which made me invent a new classification: "offensive even for a Lynx ad".
My tolerance may have been lowered by not watching a lot of broadcast tv any more.

Is there interest with that? :)

Damn your eyes, now I will have to check against that list every time I post.
What you don't seem to realise is that my plan all along was to distablize this thread with errant poetical flaming.
Ah, how terribly droll to be blithering about my sad and pathetic epithets.
I didn't mean the UK politicians were LITERALLY assess, for goodness sake.
And that dictionary you refer to, I hope it was the Oxford English Dictionary, because everyone knows that's the only one that counts.
A: Stop making fun of me.
B: Who's that idiot and what's he talking about?I'm leaving. No wait, I'm staying.
etc.
Hmm, this will never be the same...

wittering heights...
A head by a nose.
that figures, I'm totally wired weird,
my nose and eyes run and my feet smell
and look funny...
aah the classics!or as Shane MacGowan might have said:
I have hit the olfactory wall... -
pollywog doesn't seem to be alone in here. half the posts could qualify for the cracked list. actually 90% of discussion on the internet could.

I don't get it, that person is from december,

It's not the posts, it's how we're posting.
The intent matters, and I think is readily conveyed. There is a point at which we just start having fun too. It is often, in my meagre experience, in response to a period of needless personal attacks.
Even though I've only been here 6 months, I've come to appreciate that there is a 'community' and if one of the members is under attack, then others usually jump in to defuse, support or de-flay (not a word).
It seems to work well. By all accounts the Mods here are a bloody tolerant lot. Take it from me ;-)
-
\did you say something to stretch their tolerance :)?
that pollywog fellow looked like he was cornered.
-
so pollywog caused the reboot yesterday?
why didn't they get rid of him in december? -
I'm not saying that this is what happened, but short of ordering a hit it's hard to prevent somebody from returning to an Internet forum under a new name. You just hope that they'll eventually get the message I suppose.
(By the way, if anybody ever needs to take a contract out on someone, I hope they speak to me first - it would be the culturally sensitive thing to do.)

Yeah, its kinda like the war on drugs. you plug one hole and it just comes in through another. A re think in strategies is what's in order. Somebody should make friends with him.

Last week's NZ On Air discussion wound up with an unhelpful dynamic, with several people haranguing me to some degree -- and everyone else buggering off and me battling on until I realised I really shouldn't, especially given the additional slanging at people who weren't here to defend themselves.
It happens sometimes -- and for some reason, often on this topic (the December 2008 one was similar in this respect).
And then "brownthenose" jumped threads and started being a real dick by carrying it on and trying to bait me. I tend to grant more latitude to people having a go at me, but it was just getting stupid and I'm grateful to Emma for issuing marching orders.

A look in the mirror may be all it takes.

Indeed. Because I'm starting to get this urge to sew two buttons onto one of my socks and start talking to it.
